One thing I have noticed recently is when I receive a notification about a post I have made (quote, reaction etc), when clicking I more than likely end up being sent to another member's post in that thread.

Same when I click the star/circle so I can continue reading where I left off, just end up elsewhere in the thread, either before or after the last one I read.

Any ideas @tobyd?

I’m still having this issue. I’ve cleared caches/cookies, signed out and back in, changed browsers and my notifications still take me to the wrong post(s) irrespective of thread merge or not.

I get the same if I click on my post history and want to view a post I made in the past.

@dozeydustman could you try...

click here.

follow the three step program (which you might have already done) and see if that works. I *think* sometimes there is a none-of-the-above setting which just lamps you to the top of the thread?

If you click on the page number it'll always take you to the top of that page and i don't think decides to take you to the most recent comment (you've not seen) on that page in a slightly unintuitive system.

@tobyd I have a bit of an odd problem/request if you dont mind!

 

my PM inbox is almost full, (198 out of 200) but the problem is a good majority of my PM's I wish not to have to delete for one reason or another

now while I would very much like a larger inbox limit then 200 Threads, I can understand that you probably dont want to raise the limit for Server space reasons

(although if you could that would be very much appreciated!)

 

so I was wondering if it would be possible to have a "download PM's" button so I could just archive my entire PM/Inbox onto my local machine 

and then that way I can nuke a few PM's safe in the knowledge that they are saved on my computer should I need to look back at a past PM for one reason or another

(sadly the email notifications I get when I get a PM dont contain the full response)

Can confirm this issue is still alive and well on the latest version firefox.  2mb image upload just hangs the uploader.  Will try chrome, but it seems odd that it's only and issue on mobile devices.

I think this is now fixed. Seems to work on my phone android/firefox now.

Probably hopelessly the wrong thread.  Does anyone else have chrome on Android crash when trying to reply to a PM in portrait mode?

Still happens.  If I force to landscape orientation it works OK

I mean I know it's shallow and vain, but I like watching my number going up. I see that little rocket that we have all gained takes you a sort of rank progress chart but no mention of how many you need to achieve each rank. And I think theres about 5000 between some ranks so it's a bit vague. And you have to click on the rocket, the previous numbers were just there to see without having to do anything.

Don't you just go back to your first post where you started the thread and go into the edit post?

Yes, that's the solution. 

 

On windows you can click and hold the title with your mouse cursor and it'll let you change it without having to edit the original post.

@LightBulbFunwhy not just Ctrl-S a few message thread pages, you should end up having all the content saved in the html document if you just save the whole webpage. Whack them in a folder and you can treat it as a DM archive. 

I've just tried this on android and it works perfectly to save all the text, but some photos don't carry across. Nothing to stop you saving any important photos individually though.

@tobyd I noticed that the little sound that plays when you get a notification (ie when someone likes your post, quotes or tags you) is not working or turned off?

is there a toggle somewhere for me to turn it back on? I looked in notification preferences and could not find anything but perhaps im missing something

(man all I do when a forum software update happens is complain about things that have changed or gotten broken, I do feel bad! cuz I really do appreciate the effort that goes into keeping the forum going!)

@Mrs6C ,  @LightBulbFun  mentioned yesterday that the Audio "boop" when the a notification comes has stopped.  I thought mine was still there but it is not. Can this be reinstated ?  We, and others I would think,  find it useful.

glad to hear its not just me then! LOL

just for the future @bobdisk,

 @tobyd is who is keeps the forum software itself ticking over 

so any forum software issues are best posted about in this thread with him tagged in the post :)

Could you create a 2nd user account (I don't think anyone would mind in the circs) called Lightbulb2 or something?  Then invite Lightbulb2 into the conversations you want to keep.  Then Lightbulbfun exits those conversations, clearing up the Lightbulbfun inbox but leaving the archive in Lightbulb2?  I think you can see the pre-existing stream of messages when you are invited into a conversation at a later stage.  I'll invite you in to one of mine now and we'll see what happens.

that works in theory (and the invite you did work)

but it would be quite a bit of a faff to manage given how I do things from my end and I rather not make multiple accounts 

But I very much appreciate the idea and the test you did :) (although ill probably leave it now to free up space, trying to string things along for along as I can then ill probably do what @Crackers suggested on the smaller PM's etc)

@tobyd, What do you think about re-instating the Audio "boop" when a notification comes along ?

@LightBulbFun I have raised the private message limit to 500 for all users. If we run into technical issues with this I might need to roll it back, I'll let you know if that turns out to be the case.

ah thank you very much! I do understand storage does cost moneys

so I very much appreciate you doing so :)

I wonder if anyone can help me on this - not a big issue, but a tad puzzling... I follow (too) many threads, and when clicking on them in my list of Notifications, it usually takes me direct to the first unread post, which is tremendous and sadly missing from other forums (fora?). Sometimes, though, it takes me to one I've previously read, often several posts up. It happens mostly on my PC (Win10, Firefox) but also occasionally on my android phone.
